[Overview of information processing system S]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of the information processing system S. As shown in FIG. The information processing system S is a system used to provide communication capacity that can be used in communication services as a benefit to users who use communication services provided by communication carriers. The information processing system S includes a user terminal 1 and an information processing device 2.

The user terminal 1 is a terminal used by a user, and is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The user terminal 1 includes a display unit such as a display that displays information, an operation unit such as a touch panel that receives user operations, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiving unit that measures the position of the user terminal 1, and a It has an imaging unit such as a camera that captures an image, and an orientation identifying unit such as a gyro sensor that identifies the orientation of the user terminal 1.

A dedicated application program (hereinafter referred to as "dedicated application") used to provide communication capacity to the user is installed on the user terminal 1. The dedicated application provides a so-called AR (Augmented Reality) display function that displays a pseudo object superimposed on a captured image captured by the imaging unit.

The information processing device 2 is a device managed by a communication carrier, and is, for example, a server. The information processing device 2 manages information regarding users. The information regarding the user is, for example, information including the user's ID, the user's remaining communication amount, and the like. The information processing device 2 also manages information regarding benefits provided to users. The information regarding the benefit is, for example, information that associates information indicating the benefit content with a provision area to which the benefit content is provided. Privilege content is content for providing communication capacity that can be used in a communication service as a privilege, and indicates, for example, communication capacity to be provided to a user. The assigned area is an area where outdoor facilities such as an amusement park exist, an area where indoor facilities such as a shopping mall etc. exist, or the like.
The processing executed by the information processing system S will be described below.

First, when a user launches a dedicated application on the user terminal 1, the user terminal 1 transmits position specifying information to the information processing device 2 ((1) in FIG. 1). The position specifying information is information for specifying the position of the user terminal 1.

The information processing device 2 transmits display information to the user terminal 1 when the location of the user terminal 1 specified by the location specifying information acquired from the user terminal 1 is included in the provision area ((2) in FIG. 1). . The display information is information for superimposing and displaying the privilege content associated with the provision area on the captured image captured by the imaging unit of the user terminal 1.

By doing so, the information processing system S can provide communication capacity that can be used for communication services to users who have visited the provision area. As a result, users can consume the allocated communication capacity and read electronic publications, music, Digital content such as games and videos can be used. As a result, the information processing system S can reduce the degree to which the user's remaining communication amount decreases.
The configuration of the information processing device 2 will be described below.

[Configuration of information processing device 2]
FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the functional configuration of the information processing device 2. As shown in FIG. The information processing device 2 includes a communication section 21, a storage section 22, and a control section 23. In FIG. 2, arrows indicate main data flows, and there may be data flows that are not shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, each functional block shows the configuration of a functional unit, not the configuration of a hardware (device) unit. Therefore, the functional blocks shown in FIG. 2 may be implemented within a single device, or may be implemented separately within multiple devices. Data may be exchanged between functional blocks via any means such as a data bus, a network, or a portable storage medium.

The communication unit 21 is a communication interface for connecting to a network, and has a communication controller for receiving data from an external terminal and an external server.

The storage unit 22 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) of the computer that implements the information processing device 2, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that serves as a work area of the information processing device 2, and an OS (OS). It is a large-capacity storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) that stores a variety of information that is referred to during the execution of the operating system (Operating System), application programs, and the application programs.

The storage unit 22 stores a user management database that manages information regarding users and a benefit management database that manages information regarding benefits. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a database stored in the storage unit 22. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 3(a) is a diagram showing the configuration of the user management database. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the user management database stores the user's ID and the user's remaining communication amount in association with each other. The configuration of the user management database is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 3A; for example, a history of communication capacity consumed in the past by a user in a communication service may be stored in association with the history.

FIG. 3(b) is a diagram showing the configuration of the privilege management database. In the example shown in FIG. 3(b), the privilege management database stores content information indicating privilege content and provision areas in association with each other. The content information includes, for example, the details of the communication capacity provided to the user. The content of the communication capacity granted to the user is determined, for example, by an area administrator who manages the assigned area. The granted area stored in the privilege management database may be a name indicating a specific area such as ABC amusement park or DEF mall, or may be a plurality of position coordinates for defining a specific area. , or specific location coordinates.

Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 23 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) of the information processing device 2, and controls the acquisition unit by executing a program stored in the storage unit 22. 231, a determination processing section 232, a generation section 233, a transmission section 234, a determination section 235, and a provision section 236.

The acquisition unit 231 acquires location specifying information for specifying the location of the user terminal 1 from the user terminal 1 . The position specifying information includes, for example, at least one of a captured image captured by the user terminal 1 and information indicating the position coordinates of the user terminal 1 measured by the user terminal 1. The acquisition unit 231 may further acquire the user's ID from the user terminal 1.

The transmitting unit 234 associates the captured image captured by the user terminal 1 with the assigned area when the location of the user terminal 1 specified by the position specifying information acquired by the acquiring unit 231 is included in the assigned area. Send display information for superimposing and displaying bonus content. Specifically, the information processing device 2 transmits display information to the user terminal 1 located at a position included in the provision area by executing the following four steps.

As a first step, the determination processing unit 232 selects a grant area that includes the location of the user terminal 1 specified by the position specifying information acquired by the acquisition unit 231, among one or more grant areas stored in the privilege management database. Execute the process to determine whether or not there is. For example, when a captured image captured by the user terminal 1 is included in the position specifying information, the determination processing unit 232 first analyzes the captured image and identifies the subject included in the captured image (for example, the Ferris wheel at ABC amusement park, DEF Mall entrance, etc.). Then, the determination processing unit 232 determines whether there is a grant area in which the specified subject exists among the one or more grant areas stored in the privilege management database.

Further, for example, when information indicating the position coordinates of the user terminal 1 is included in the position specifying information, the determination processing unit 232 determines the position coordinates of the user terminal 1 among the one or more grant areas stored in the privilege management database. Determine whether there is a given area that includes. If the location identification information includes a captured image captured by the user terminal 1 and information indicating the position coordinates of the user terminal 1, the determination processing unit 232 selects one of the one or more grant areas stored in the privilege management database. , it may be determined whether there is a given area that includes the specified location of the user terminal 1 by using two pieces of information. When the determination processing unit 232 determines that among the one or more grant areas stored in the privilege management database, there is no grant area that includes the location of the user terminal 1 specified by the location identification information acquired by the acquisition unit 231. , ends the process.

As a second step, when the determination processing unit 232 determines that there is a given area that includes the location of the user terminal 1, the acquisition unit 231 acquires state information indicating the state of the user terminal 1 from the user terminal 1. The status information includes at least information indicating the orientation of the imaging unit of the user terminal 1, but is not limited thereto, and may further include information indicating the position coordinates of the user terminal 1.

For example, first, when the determination processing unit 232 determines that there is a given area that includes the location of the user terminal 1, the acquisition unit 231 transmits a request to transmit the state information to the user terminal 1. Upon acquiring the transmission request, the user terminal 1 transmits the status information to the information processing device 2 . The acquisition unit 231 then acquires status information from the user terminal 1.

As a third step, the generation unit 233 generates display information based on the status information acquired by the acquisition unit 231. Specifically, the generation unit 233 generates a benefit of content information that is an image to be superimposed on the captured image captured by the user terminal 1 and is associated with the grant area determined by the determination processing unit 232 in the benefit management database. An object image displaying content (object) is generated as display information.

As a fourth step, the transmitter 234 transmits the display information generated by the generator 233 to the user terminal 1. After that, when the user terminal 1 acquires the display information, the object image is superimposed on the captured image captured by the imaging unit and displayed on the display unit. If the information processing device 2 determines in the first step that there is a given area that includes the location of the user terminal 1, it repeatedly executes the processes from the second step to the fourth step at predetermined intervals.

For example, the transmitting unit 234 transmits display information corresponding to a privilege content (a privilege content indicated by content information associated with a certain grant area in the privilege management database) that is common to each user in a certain grant area. The transmitting unit 234 may transmit display information corresponding to different bonus contents in a certain grant area depending on the state of the grant area or the user.

Specifically, first, when the determination processing unit 232 determines that there is a given area that includes the location of the user terminal 1, the determining unit 235 determines whether the given area is associated with the given given area, depending on the state of the given given area or the user. Determine the contents of the bonus content. The generation unit 233 generates an object image displaying the bonus content determined by the determination unit 235 as display information. The transmitter 234 then transmits the display information generated by the generator 233 to the user terminal 1.

For example, when the provision area is an amusement park and the amusement park is highly crowded, the waiting time to ride an attraction may become long. When a user uses digital content during waiting time on the user terminal 1, the longer the waiting time, the more communication capacity may be consumed as the user uses the digital content.

Therefore, the information processing device 2 may transmit display information corresponding to the bonus content whose contents correspond to the degree of congestion in the provision area. The information processing device 2 executes the following three steps to transmit display information corresponding to the bonus content whose content corresponds to the degree of congestion in the provision area.

As a first step, when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the assigned area, the acquisition unit 231 acquires congestion identification information for identifying the degree of congestion in the assigned area. The congestion identification information is, for example, information indicating the number of user terminals 1 (users) that communicate with base stations near the assigned area, and the acquisition unit 231 acquires the congestion identification information from the base station whose communication area includes the assigned area. get. The congestion identification information may be information indicating the number of visitors to a facility (for example, an amusement park, a shopping mall, etc.) corresponding to the assigned area. Obtain congestion identification information from the illustrated server.

As a second step, when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the granting area, the determining unit 235 determines the contents of the bonus content whose value is higher as the degree of congestion in the granting area increases, and The lower the value, the lower the value of the bonus content. Specifically, when the number of users indicated by the congestion identification information acquired by the acquisition unit 231 exceeds the congestion degree threshold, the determination unit 235 determines the contents of the high-value bonus content, and determines whether the number of users is congested. If the degree threshold is not exceeded, the content of the bonus content with low value is determined. The congestion level threshold is, for example, a threshold that is predetermined for each area.

For example, in the privilege management database, the grant area, first content information when the number of users exceeds the congestion level threshold, and second content information when the number of users does not exceed the congestion level threshold are stored in association with each other. has been done. The first content information and the second content information are content information with different contents, and the first content information (for example, giving a communication capacity of 1 GB) is better than the second content information (for example, giving a communication capacity of 500 MB). This is also valuable bonus content.

In this case, when the number of users exceeds the congestion degree threshold, the determining unit 235 grants the user the first content information associated with the granting area that includes the position of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database. Determined as the content of the bonus content. On the other hand, when the number of users does not exceed the congestion level threshold, the determining unit 235 provides a privilege that grants the user the second content information that is associated with the granting area that includes the location of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database. Determined as the content.

As a third step, the transmitting unit 234 transmits display information for superimposing and displaying the bonus content determined by the determining unit 235 on the captured image captured by the user terminal 1. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide the user with communication capacity according to the situation of the provision area.

The transmitting unit 234 may transmit display information corresponding to bonus content whose content corresponds to the remaining communication amount of the user's communication service. By executing the following two steps, the information processing device 2 transmits display information corresponding to a bonus content whose content corresponds to the communication remaining amount of the user's communication service.

As a first step, when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the provision area, the determining unit 235 determines the content of the bonus content that is more valuable as the remaining communication amount of the user's communication service is smaller, and The content of bonus content whose value is lower as the remaining communication amount of the service is larger is determined. Specifically, the determining unit 235 determines whether the remaining communication capacity of the user stored in the user management database in association with the user ID acquired by the acquiring unit 231 exceeds a predetermined remaining capacity threshold (for example, 100 MB, etc.). If not, the content of the bonus content with high value is determined, and if the remaining communication amount of the user exceeds the remaining amount threshold value, the content of the bonus content with low value is determined.

For example, in the privilege management database, the grant area, first content information when the remaining communication amount does not exceed the remaining amount threshold, and second content information when the remaining amount of communication exceeds the remaining amount threshold are stored in association with each other. ing.

In this case, when the user's remaining communication amount does not exceed the remaining amount threshold, the determining unit 235 transmits the first content information associated with the provision area that includes the location of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database to the user. Determined as the content of the bonus content to be given. On the other hand, when the user's remaining communication amount exceeds the remaining amount threshold, the determining unit 235 provides the user with second content information that is associated with the provision area that includes the location of the user terminal 1 in the benefit management database. Determined as the content of the bonus content.

As a second step, the transmitting unit 234 transmits display information for superimposing and displaying the bonus content, the content of which has been determined by the determining unit 235, on the captured image captured by the user terminal 1. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide the user with communication capacity according to the user's remaining communication amount.

The transmitting unit 234 may transmit display information corresponding to bonus content whose contents are in accordance with the user's usage history in the communication service or other services other than the communication service (hereinafter referred to as "target service"). Other services include, for example, shopping services. By executing the following three steps, the information processing device 2 transmits display information corresponding to bonus content whose content corresponds to the user's usage history of the target service.

As a first step, the acquisition unit 231 acquires information indicating the user's usage record of the target service when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the provision area. For example, when the target service is a communication service, the acquisition unit 231 stores the history of communication capacity consumed in the past by the user in the communication service, which is stored in the user management database in association with the acquired user ID. Obtained as information indicating performance. Further, for example, when the target service is another service, the acquisition unit 231 acquires information indicating the user's usage history of the other service from a server (not shown) that manages the other service.

As a second step, when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the provision area, the determining unit 235 determines the content of the benefit content whose value is higher as the degree of use of the user in the past in the target service is higher; To determine the content of privilege content whose value is lower as the degree of use of a communication service or other service by a user in the past is lower. The usage degree of the target service is, for example, the communication capacity consumed by the user in the past in the communication service, the amount paid by the user in other services, or the number of times the user used other services.

Specifically, when the degree of past use of the target service by the user exceeds a predetermined usage threshold, the determining unit 235 determines the content of the high-value bonus content, and If the degree of usage does not exceed the usage threshold, the content of the low-value bonus content is determined.

For example, in the privilege management database, the grant area, first content information when the user's usage level exceeds the usage threshold, and second content information when the user's usage level does not exceed the usage threshold are stored in association with each other. ing.

In this case, when the user's usage level exceeds the usage threshold, the determining unit 235 grants the user the first content information that is associated with the granting area that includes the position of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database. Determined as the content of the bonus content. On the other hand, the determining unit 235 provides a privilege for granting the second content information associated with the granting area that includes the location of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database to the user when the degree of usage of the user does not exceed the usage threshold. Determined as the content.

As a third step, the transmitting unit 234 transmits display information for superimposing and displaying the bonus content whose content has been determined by the determining unit 235 on the captured image captured by the user terminal 1. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide the user with communication capacity according to the degree of use of the target service by the user.

The transmitting unit 234 may transmit display information corresponding to bonus content whose content corresponds to the number of companions accompanying the user. The information processing device 2 executes the following three steps to transmit display information corresponding to bonus content whose content corresponds to the number of companions of the user.

As a first step, the acquisition unit 231 further acquires companion identification information for identifying the number of companions of the user when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the provision area. The companion identification information is, for example, information input by the user on the user terminal 1, and the acquisition unit 231 acquires the companion identification information from the user terminal 1. The companion identification information may be information presented when the user enters the facility corresponding to the assigned area, and in this case, the acquisition unit 231 acquires the companion identification information from a server managed by the administrator of the assigned area. get.

As a second step, the determining unit 235 determines the content of the bonus content that has a higher value as the number of companions of the user increases, and determines the content of the bonus content that has a lower value as the number of companions of the user decreases. . Specifically, the determining unit 235 determines that if the number of companions of the user indicated by the companion information acquired by the acquiring unit 231 exceeds a predetermined companion threshold (for example, one person, etc.), the value is high. The content of the bonus content is determined, and if the number of companions of the user does not exceed the companion threshold, the content of the bonus content with low value is determined.

For example, the privilege management database includes the grant area, first content information when the number of companions of the user exceeds the companion threshold, and second content information when the number of companions of the user does not exceed the companion threshold. Information is stored in association with the information.

In this case, when the number of companions of the user exceeds the companion threshold, the determining unit 235 assigns the first content information associated with the provision area that includes the position of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database to the user. Determined as the content of the bonus content to be given. On the other hand, if the number of companions of the user does not exceed the companion threshold, the determining unit 235 transmits to the user the second content information associated with the provision area that includes the position of the user terminal 1 in the privilege management database. This is determined as the content of the bonus content to be provided.

As a third step, the transmitting unit 234 transmits display information for superimposing and displaying the bonus content whose content has been determined by the determining unit 235 on the captured image captured by the user terminal 1. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide the user with communication capacity according to the number of companions of the user.

The transmitting unit 234 may transmit display information corresponding to bonus content whose content corresponds to the weather in the granting area. The information processing device 2 transmits display information corresponding to bonus content whose content is in accordance with the weather in the provision area by executing the following three steps.

As a first step, the acquisition unit 231 further acquires weather information indicating the weather in the provision area when the location of the user terminal 1 is included in the provision area. The acquisition unit 231 acquires weather information from, for example, a server (not shown) that manages weather forecasts.

As a second step, the determining unit 235 determines the content of the bonus content that is more valuable as the weather in the granting area is worse (for example, rainy, snowy, etc.), and determines the content of the bonus content that is more valuable as the weather in the granting area is better (for example, sunny, cloudy, etc.). ), the value of the bonus content is determined.

For example, in the privilege management database, award areas and content information for each weather are stored in association with each other. For example, content information corresponding to rain (bad weather) is set as a bonus content with a higher value than content information corresponding to sunny weather (good weather). In this case, the determining unit 235 determines the award area including the location of the user terminal 1 and the content information associated with the weather of the award area in the award management database as the content of the award content to be provided to the user.

As a third step, the transmitting unit 234 transmits display information for superimposing and displaying the bonus content indicating the bonus content whose content has been determined by the determining unit 235 on the captured image captured by the user terminal 1. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide the user with bonus content depending on the weather in the provided area.

The transmitter 234 may transmit display information for displaying content other than the bonus content in a superimposed manner. Other content is, for example, entertainment content such as fireworks. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide the user with motivation for using the dedicated application.

The granting unit 236 grants communication capacity to the user when predetermined conditions are met. Specifically, when the transmitting unit 234 transmits the display information, the granting unit 236 grants the user the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234.

Specifically, when the transmitting unit 234 transmits the display information, the providing unit 236 sets the communication capacity indicated by the bonus content corresponding to the display information as the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234. Grant to user.

The predetermined operation is, for example, an operation of tapping the displayed bonus content.

Specifically, first, after the transmitting unit 234 transmits the display information, the acquiring unit 231 detects that the user performs a predetermined operation on the bonus content that the user terminal 1 displays superimposed on the captured image. Get an operation notification indicating that. Then, when the acquisition unit further acquires the operation notification, the granting unit 236 grants the user the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234.

In the example shown in FIG. 4B, when the user performs an operation of tapping the object C displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 1, the user terminal 1 transmits an operation notification to the information processing device 2. Then, in the information processing device 2, when the acquisition unit 231 acquires the operation notification from the user terminal 1, the granting unit 236 grants the user the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can provide communication capacity to a user who desires communication capacity.

In the above, an example has been described in which the granting unit 236 grants the user the communication capacity indicated by the privilege content corresponding to the display information as the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, the granting unit 236 may grant the user communication capacity consumed for using digital content.

Specifically, the bonus content is digital content used by the user, and the granting unit 236 assigns the communication capacity consumed to use the digital content as the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234. Grant to user.

For example, first, the user terminal 1 displays an object for indicating digital content. The object for indicating digital content may be an object displaying digital content, or may be information for accessing a web page that outputs digital content.

While outputting the digital content, the user terminal 1 measures the communication capacity consumed by outputting the digital content, and transmits information indicating the measured communication capacity to the information processing device 2. Then, the granting unit 236 grants the communication capacity indicated by the information acquired from the user terminal 1 by the acquiring unit 231 to the user as the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can allow the user to use digital content without consuming the user's remaining communication capacity.

The determination processing unit 232 determines whether the position of the user terminal 1 specified by the position specifying information acquired by the acquisition unit 231 is within the grant area, that is, among the one or more grant areas stored in the privilege management database. It is determined whether there is a given area that includes the position of the user terminal 1 specified by the position specifying information acquired by the acquisition unit 231 (S2). If the determination processing unit 232 determines that the position of the user terminal 1 is not within the provision area (NO in S2), the process returns to S1.

On the other hand, when the determination processing unit 232 determines that the position of the user terminal 1 is within the provision area (YES in S2), the acquisition unit 231 acquires state information from the user terminal 1 (S3). The generation unit 233 generates display information based on the status information acquired by the acquisition unit 231 (S4).

The transmitter 234 transmits the display information generated by the generator 233 to the user terminal 1 (S5). Then, the granting unit 236 grants the user the communication capacity corresponding to the display information transmitted by the transmitting unit 234 (S6).
